Ingredients
- 1 zucchini medium
- 1 cucumber medium
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- 1 lemon juice juice of
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons basil minced, fresh
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In the bottom of a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon basil vinaigrette: lemon juice through pepper.
- Trim both ends of the zucchini and use a vegetable peeler to create long, wide ribbons. I find that it’s easiest to place the zucchini flat on a cutting board and peel the vegetable horizontally.
- Repeat the same process with a cucumber and place both the zucchini and cucumber ribbons in the bowl on top of the vinaigrette.
- Add arugula and cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss well until vegetables are evenly coated with the vinaigrette. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.

Notes
- If preparing ahead of time, keep dressing stored separately until ready to serve.
- I find using a mandolin the easiest way to cut the veggies into ribbons, but you can get a very similar effect with a vegetable peeler, too!
